Vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway.
This issue affects ADC: before 14.1-73.37, before 13.1-64.23, before 14.1-73.37 FIPS, and before 13.1.37.279 FIPS and NDcPP; Gateway: before 14.1-73.37 and before 13.1-64.23 leading to a feature policy bypass due to improper HTTP URL based expression usage.
AnalysisAI
Feature policy bypass in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway allows unauthenticated remote attackers to evade certain configured policies when those policies use HTTP URL-based expressions, potentially bypassing policy enforcement controls. Affected are ADC before 14.1-73.37, before 13.1-64.23, before 14.1-73.37 FIPS, and before 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP; Gateway before 14.1-73.37 and before 13.1-64.23. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a NetScaler ADC or Gateway configured with a feature policy that uses an HTTP URL-based expression - the flaw is that improper URL-based expression usage allows the policy to be evaded, so an environment with no such URL-scoped feature policies is not exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.0 (HIGH), but the vector tells a more nuanced story: AV:N/AC:L means network-reachable and low-complexity, PR:N/UI:N means no authentication or user interaction, yet AT:P signals a specific attack requirement (a precondition outside the attacker's control) that constrains reliable exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade NetScaler ADC to 14.1-73.37 or later, 13.1-64.23 or later, 14.1-73.37 FIPS or later, and 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP or later; upgrade NetScaler Gateway to 14.1-73.37 or later and 13.1-64.23 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway instances to identify those running versions prior to 14.1-73.37, 13.1-64.23, 14.1-73.37 FIPS, or 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP, and review configurations for any feature policies that use HTTP URL-based expressions; temporarily disable or tighten these policies if business-critical functions allow. …
